Mother’s Day / Father’s Day: Start crafting now

Dear users, dear authors,
start crafting now for Mother’s Day / Father’s Day. Have fun.

@Authors,
only patterns with at least 10 sales, a CR of at least 3%, that have not been advertised in the forum in the past 3 weeks may be presented here. 2-3 patterns per author are enough. Don’t forget links, images, info, etc. 

Everyone needs tissues, everywhere. They're sustainable in the larger cardboard boxes, though not necessarily decorative. Now you can remedy that with a really pretty cover. The ideal gift for Mother's Day.

This crocheted cover fits a 100-pack perfectly and looks so decorative that it can even sit on the dining table. In our house, the tissues now even replace napkins. It hardly gets more sustainable than that.

Easy to crochet with lots of enjoyment. This is a wonderful way to crochet up colorful leftover yarn.

To the crochet pattern

I can save myself the work; I have neither a mother nor a mother-in-law, both have been gone for years.
I’m invited to a flute concert on the evening before Mother’s Day. My daughter plays alto flute, tenor flute, baroque flute, and soprano flute. As far as I know, they’ll also be performing “Eine kleine Nachtmusik” that evening, and I’m really looking forward to it.

Best regards, Inge

This handbag is the perfect way to present your Mother’s Day gift: It does require a bit of crafting experience, but it’s actually not hard to make.


 I made
this bag out of photo cardstock. With the handles, it measures approximately 22 x 28 x 7.5 cm.

For anyone who tends to feel the cold, this heart-shaped cover for a heat pillow is an ideal gift. A grain pillow is heated in the microwave for a few minutes and then placed inside the cover. Thanks to the different textures on the front and back (front: bobble pattern, back: single crochet), you can decide for yourself how much warmth is passed through. The pillow cover measures about 20 x 20 cm.


The pretty bracelet with beadsis quick to crochet and can be matched in color and style to the recipient’s taste and clothing. With the shiny colorful beads, the bracelet looks very elegant. If you prefer a simpler look, choose wooden beads.


The gift bag with hearts turns every gift into a heartfelt matter. It has an ideal size for many gifts.  For example, it also works well as bottle packaging. It is not only a beautiful wrapping for Mother’s Day or Father’s Day, but can be used again and passed on as a gift.

1) The LED tea light holders "Say it with a heart" are very quick to crochet and make a great gift or small token for many occasions - e.g. for Mother's Day, Father's Day, Valentine's Day, or just because. The detailed pattern includes text, lots of pictures, and a crochet chart.

What would I give as a gift for Mother’s Day or Father’s Day? Something they need and something they’ll like. Here are a few ideas from me.

I hope you enjoy making these.

Warm regards from Ina

For Mom:

Cardigan with a Shawl Collar

Cozy, warm, and stylish—this cardigan is a must-have in any wardrobe. Of course, we’ll knit it in the wearer’s favorite color. The cardigan has large pockets, a flattering shawl collar, and ties with a belt. It’s quick to put on and take off. We’ll knit it as a raglan from the top down. The beautiful color gradients come directly from the soft wool.





For Dad:

Felt Boots with a Roll-Down Cuff

Yes, men get cold feet too and need warmth. Felt boots are the perfect solution for anyone who wants warm feet. The felt ensures that feet stay comfortably warm without getting sweaty. Excess heat is simply released to the outside through the felt fibers. This allows air to circulate optimally, preventing unpleasant odors. The sole is slip-resistant. You choose the colors and size. Men love gray and charcoal ;-)
